Events associated with aversive or rewarding outcomes are prioritized in memory. This
memory boost is commonly attributed to the elicited affective response, closely linked to …

Simple Summary Over the past few decades, advances in electroencephalography (EEG)
recordings and brain stimulation has permitted an unprecedented view of how specific brain …

Perception is known to cycle through periods of enhanced and reduced sensitivity to
external information. Here, we asked whether such slow fluctuations arise as a noise-related …

Activity related to movement is found throughout sensory and motor regions of the brain.
However, it remains unclear how movement-related activity is distributed across the brain …

In uncertain environments, intelligent decision-makers exploit actions that have been
rewarding in the past, but also explore actions that could be even better. Several …

Perceptual decisions about sensory input are influenced by fluctuations in ongoing neural
activity, most prominently driven by attention and neuromodulator systems. It is currently …

Perceptual decision-making is a dynamic cognitive process and is shaped by many factors,
including behavioral state, reward contingency, and sensory environment. To understand …

The parabrachial nuclear complex (PBN) is a nexus for aversion and for the sensory and
affective components of pain perception. We have previously shown that during chronic pain …

When sorting a sequence of stimuli into binary classes, current choices are often negatively
correlated with recent stimulus history. This phenomenon—dubbed the repulsive bias—can …

Neural activity during sensory-guided decision-making is strongly modulated by animal
movements. Although the impact of movements on neural activity is now well-documented …
